BACK in the late 1990s, it was the soundtrack to many a rebellious teenager’s life.

Not only did it feature a snippet from one of the decade’s most seminal films, Pulp Fiction, but 1996’s Come Find Yourself was unlike anything else of its time to hit the shelves of music shops across the country.

The album featured three top 30 UK hits – The Fun Lovin’ Criminals, King of New York and Scooby Snacks – and remained in the album charts for more than 100 weeks, becoming a multi-platinum selling record.

So, little wonder the band wants to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

To mark the occasion, Huey Morgan, Brian ‘Fast’ Leiser and Frank Benbiniwill be playing the record from start to finish as part of their 2016 which comes to Manchester Cathedral on February 26.

Huey said: “It was our debut record, we tracked it in about five days and didn’t think about it too deeply – we just wanted to make it good. We never expected for it to explode like it did.

“It’s daunting to think that the record is 20 years old. We’ve been doing a lot of hindsighting in the last couple of days. We didn’t take into consideration at the time that the 1990s was probably the last time music was cutting edge when bands like Oasis really solidifying the idea of being rebellious.

“These days you don’t hear a lot of bands mixing genres up like they used to. It’s so different now. Kids these days have a preconceived idea of what music is and they don’t get to the point of emotional understanding with it like we used to.

People don’t seem to want to listen to good music. They don’t want to work for it and listen to it properly. I used to save up for weeks to buy records but these days it is really disposable, which is sad.”

On paper, Huey’s youth of petty crime, drugs and a subsequent stint in the marines was perhaps an unlikely beginning for the making of a band frontman – but he used his time served in the corps to his advantage.

He said: “I was talking to someone about this recently – my time in the Marines was a journey to understand myself, and by the time I was 27 when the record came out, I knew who I was and didn’t let external influences get in the way of that.

“Looking back I guess the way the band looked at the world was pretty honest and it was great that other people saw it in the same way that we did.”

Come Find Yourself will be reissued on February 19. The band will play it live at Manchester Cathedral on February 26.
